Nonprofit groups that would like to participate in the March 5 Volunteer Expo at Everett Mall must sign up by Jan. 28. Registration forms are available on the United Way of Snohomish County Web site, www.uwsc. org, or by calling the volunteer center at 425-921-3459.

The expo offers volunteers the opportunity to learn about working with youths, elderly, the environment, the disabled and animals, among other things.

Play bingo for a cause

The Silvana Fair Board offers bingo at 7 p.m. Saturday at Viking Hall, 1331 Pioneer Highway in Silvana.

All money raised will go toward paying the insurance premium for tents and other stored items necessary for the annual fair.

We’ll share your wedding plans

Are you getting married, about to celebrate your wedding anniversary or getting ready to retire? Would you like to be considered for a Herald Love Story?

The Herald runs Celebration announcements free of charge in Wednesday’s Community Extra pages. Just fill out one of our forms and return it to us with a photograph.

For more information, contact Christina Harper at 425-339-3491 or e-mail harper @heraldnet.com.

News partner changes format

Our TV news partner, KIRO-7, begins new programming on Monday.

The “CBS Evening News With Dan Rather” will begin at 5:30 p.m. weekdays, allowing KIRO to produce an hour-long weeknight edition of “KIRO 7 Eyewitness News” at 6 p.m. weeknights.

So what comes on at 5 p.m. instead of the local news? That stays the same. Thirty minutes of local news, as now, then the one-hour show at 6 p.m.

Corrections

* Law and justice funding makes up about 70 percent of the county’s $174 million general fund budget, not its $550 million total budget.

The number was incorrect in a Page A1 story Thursday about Sheriff Rick Bart considering a run for county executive.

* Planned Parenthood offers a free clinic for teenagers 2-4:30 p.m. the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. Planned Parenthood also runs a Teen Council in its Everett office each Wednesday night. The information was incorrect in a story on sex education on Page B1 Tuesday.
